St. Stephen's Basilica



1. St. Stephen's Basilica,  Budapest - Lipótváros,  Hungary.
2. The Roman Catholic basilica.
3.  St. Stephen's Basilica  was built between 1851 and 1905. It was completed by József Kauser, according to the plans of Miklós Ybl.
4. The architectural style is Neo-Classical. The facade is anchored by two large bell towers.  In the southern tower is Hungary's biggest bell, weighing over 9 tones.
5.  Now here is a place for praying. Also Stephen Basilica has played an active role in the musical community since its consecration in 1905. The head organists of the church have always been very highly regarded musicians. In the past century the Basilica has been home to choral music, classical music as well as contemporary musical performances.
6. This is a standard European Cathedral, but it looks very impressive and majestically.
7. It is a gorgeous church.  Beautiful sculptures and amazing art works. Walking in this basilica looking at the beautiful interior, I had a feeling of getting in touch with all the people who have been here before me.
